How to say, happy people are energetic 1.

Ever since she made up with the Crown Prince, Zhu WuXin went back to her usual life, ate well and worked hard.
That caused Shopkeeper Li to be shocked, thinking if she suffered any trauma and insisted her to rest for a few days.

“Shopkeeper, it’s all right. I’m good. Just a bit hyped.” Zhu WuXin threw down the cleaning rag to explain.

Forget it. Since she was reluctant to go back to rest, Shopkeeper Li decided to close the shop earlier in order to let this Miss Zhu return back to normal as soon as possible.
Upon sunset, Zhu WuXin started to arrange the tables and chairs for closing, and getting ready to go home for dinner.

Suddenly, wind breezed past beside her ears, and Xiang Nuan sprang out from nowhere.
Without saying a word, she just pulled WuXin with her and ran.
The way she ran so desperately was similar to Liu Xiang jumping over hurdles [Link] like his life was depending on it.

Not more than ten steps she took, Zhu WuXin heard a string of murderous clamor from behind.
Looking back, she almost fainted.
There were as much as twenty people chasing them and everyone looked vicious, holding a sword each.
‘Cutting down anyone in sight, flipping any stalls nearby’ 2, it was completely the behaviors of some infamous pirates.

Zhu WuXin always thought herself was quite a trouble-seeker but comparing to Xiang Nuan, she just paled in comparison.
Scowling miserably, Zhu WuXin said while running, “Big Miss Xiang Nuan, it’s enough that you provoked trouble by yourself, can’t you just settle it quietly? Why must you drag me into this mess!”

“Because you are my good friend, I want to give you the chance to share delights and common hardships together.”

Wakao, what kind of despotic logic was this?

Glancing to the back once more, WuXin asked, “How about your bodyguards?”

“That group which bundled me last time? Don’t tell me they got messed up in the chaos.”

“They are staying at home!”

Xiang Nuan really gave her all in running, a sprint and she already went past Zhu WuXin.
If it wasn’t escaping death can stimulate human’s hidden ability, Zhu WuXin would have needed a good rest right now.

[Translator note : It means running for her life gave her extra boost in running without rest, a.k.a fueled by adrenaline]

Zhu WuXin tried her best to speed up to Xiang Nuan’s side, “You are in danger, what are your bodyguards doing at home?”

“They stay at home so my father will think that I’m at home.”

“How about your dad’s spies?”

“Which spy would be able to predict me getting chased?”

Zhu WuXin looked back again, damm it, why are these bunch of people not getting tired ah?

“Oh yeah, how did you managed to provoke these people?”

“Didn’t you asked me to find a beggar to play dead?”

“I asked you to find a beggar, but how did you managed to get chased for your life?”

“I don’t know either.”

Xiang Nuan replied with a face of innocence.

“I saw there are many beggars at the entrance of the casino. Then there was a man thrown out from inside, his clothes was torn.”

“So I said to let him act as my dead father, but he actually went and called a bunch of people to chase after me. Really unfathomable.”

“……”

Anymore running and Zhu WuXin will collapse on the ground.
Even marathon was not so extreme.

“This won’t do, if we continued to run like this, they will catch us in one fell swoop. We have to separate, each of us will divert half of the people away. Then, find own solution to settle the problem.”

“Good, not a bad idea.”

Xiang Nuan expressed her agreement.

“Just right, you see, there’s a bamboo forest right in front. When we reached the forest, we will split up.

“All right.”

So, one two three, arrived bamboo forest, scattered like birds 3 –
